Franklin Update

The final touches on areas surrounding Franklin Elementary School finished this week. Bright and early on Wednesday morning, crews started taking down the construction fencing, which revealed lush, green, and beautiful fields! 


Just last month, there were mounds of dirt and no paths, but now the area has been transformed as this project comes to a close


Thank you to the Franklin students, staff, parents, and community for your patience as this was completed. 

Worlds Of Wonder Concludes

District 64's Worlds of Wonder summer program concluded this week! The first session started back on June 14th, and since then, students have been building skills and having fun, hands-on experiences. It was great to pop into some classes over the past few weeks and see all the collaboration, fun, and learning.
